Week 6 Assignment: Explore the CP Template and Best Practices

Week 6 Assignment: Explore the CP Template and Best Practices 

 

First, review the NCU Template Applied Degree CP 2013. Find every reference to either qualitative or quantitative design. While these two approaches have many similarities, there are some important differences in the way each should be treated. In an APA style document with citations compare and contrast the expectations for each approach as presented in the template. You may use other references to help clarify the similarities and the differences.

 

Part 1: Strategic Planning Process

Choose an organization that you would like to study and ultimately create your own strategic plan for. Consider using:

 

Organization that you want to work for once you complete your MBA ( J.P. Morgan Case )

Write a 1,050-word paper in which you address the following: 

Identify the major components of the strategic management process.

Discuss how these components work together to create value for the organization.

Evaluate the company’s mission statement, vision statement, motivation strategy, innovation strategy, and people strategy. If the organization does not have one or more of these, how does that affect the organization and its people?

Explain the role of ethics and corporate social responsibility in strategic planning.  How does this direct their strategy? How does the organization’s vison and mission align with your own values and vision?  If you are currently working for the organization, how does your role influence this and vice versa?  

Format your paper according to APA guidelines. Include a minimum of one authoritative reference. Remember all references should be included in the body of your paper as in-text citations.

Fire Prevention And Code Enforcement Research Paper

Unit V Scholarly Activity

 

Fire code violations have increased in your area over the past 2 years. Local business owners are complaining to city officials about the fines and costs to mitigate the code violations. The chief has asked you to conduct a cost–benefit analysis of fire code compliance. This analysis should provide an overview of non-enforcement versus enforcement of the fire code.

 

Try to research the number of commercial fires that occur within your jurisdiction, and determine if the fires could have been prevented if fire codes were enforced.

 

Your analysis should be two to three pages in length and follow APA guidelines. Make sure to use the textbook and at least one scholarly reference to support your statements. The title and reference pages are not included in the page-count requirement.

Learning Styles

Everyone has their own style of learning. As educators, we often get stuck on one teaching method or style in which we teach our students. Some may argue that it is impossible and pointless to teach to different types of learners in higher education. However, your text presents many different modes of presenting information to students and evaluating their understanding. Take the “What’s Your Learning StyleLinks to an external site.” quiz and summarize your results in the discussion post. Using Chapter 25 and the resources available in the quiz results, discuss your prominent learning styles and/or types. Include three examples of activities that would align with your own strengths.
